Chapter 12

This chapter dealt with configuring name resolution and other services. Like many other MOAC classes, this chapter's information was partially covered in another class. The first part of the chapter went over DNS name resolution.This refers to translation of a web address (www.whatever.com) into an IP address that computers use to route traffic. DNS is the system by which these names are assigned, and are done in a distributive and hierarchical manner across the internet with top level domains (.com, .net, etc.) An AD domain controller can also be configured as a DNS server.
